Chapter 172: Sudden Assassination
Xiao Hanyin couldn't watch the Xiao clan members being questioned by the emperor.
"You can't control this!" Xiao Hanchen sighed helplessly.
"My father is deeply involved with the second prince, but as long as he doesn't do anything that violates the laws of the imperial court, there is still room for maneuver in this matter!" Xiao Hanyin frowned.
From Xiao Hanchen's words, he sensed solemnity.
Everything Xiao Yifeng did was his own choice, and Xiao Hanyin would not excuse him.
However, Xiao Hanchen has always been loyal to the court and the emperor.
Xiao Hanyin didn't want to see him being implicated by his father and becoming a prisoner.
"Actually, what the emperor wants is just the military power in his father's hands, as long as he is willing to hand over the military power, our Xiao family can still continue to be respected as before!" Xiao Hanchen told the root cause of the Xiao family's accident.
The military exploits that their family made for the imperial court cost the lives of many sons of the Xiao family......
However, Xiao Yifeng has always held the military power in his own hands, and he has no intention of handing it over to the emperor, how can the emperor not be suspicious of him after a long time.
Nowadays, the court is calm, and the frontier is very stable, and there is no need to fight at all.
The military power naturally has to be placed in the emperor's own hands, so that he can feel at ease......
"Father, are you unwilling to hand over the military power to the emperor?" Xiao Hanyin soon knew the crux of the matter.
"Hmm!" Xiao Hanchen said, "My father has always regarded military power as more important than his own life!" ”
"If you retain the military power, you will have to worry about your life, and so many people in the Xiao family are likely to die because of his stubbornness, hasn't he thought about this?" Xiao Hanyin's face sank.
"Father naturally thought about it, he felt that as long as the military power was still in his hands, the emperor would be jealous of him for three points, and he would not really kill the Xiao family!" In fact, Xiao Hanchen had privately persuaded Xiao Yifeng many times to let him take the initiative to give the military power to the emperor.
The emperor sees that the Xiao family is loyal to him and the court, and he will definitely not treat the Xiao family badly.
However, Xiao Yifeng wanted to rely on the power in his hands to make the Xiao family go to the next level......
The father and son were very unhappy about this matter.
"He's still as selfish as ever!" In order to hold real power, he risked the lives of so many people in the Xiao family.
Xiao Hanyin has always been unable to agree with his approach, and there was no way for him to get out of Xiao Yifeng's control back then, so he would leave at all costs.
Now, Xiao Yifeng sent a message to him, Xiao Hanyin couldn't sit idly by, and finally came back.
As a result, he met his eldest brother just after visiting Xiao's Mansion at night.
Knowing that Xiao Hanchen was safe and sound, he was very happy.
"Father wants the Xiao family to become the number one family in the imperial city, but he ignores the emperor's thoughts!" The monarch is unpredictable, and their Xiao family has been feared by the emperor for many years.
But he angered the emperor because he cared too much about power.
"If the emperor insists on pursuing the Xiao family, what will happen to you and the others?" Although Xiao Hanyin had already guessed, he still couldn't hold back and wanted to ask Xiao Hanchen for confirmation in person.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to escape death!" The corners of Xiao Hanchen's mouth hooked up a helpless wry smile.
Things have come to this point, Xiao Yifeng would rather get Xiao Hanyin back than hand over the military power, how could the emperor let them go.
Now, the emperor has just grounded them in the mansion, but if Xiao Yifeng keeps not compromising, I'm afraid things will be really bad.
"I want to see him!" Xiao Hanyin decided to test Xiao Yifeng's plans in person.
"It's useless, if you go, your father will only let you go and beg the prince to protect the Xiao family!" Xiao Hanchen stopped him.
Hearing this, Xiao Han's eyebrows condensed slightly, he hadn't seen him for so long, his father was still the former Xiao Yifeng, and he hadn't changed at all.
For the sake of his ambitions, anything can be sacrificed.
"What are you going to do if I don't go?" Xiao Hanyin felt some entanglements in his heart.
He was a very decisive man and rarely hesitated about these things.
However, although Xiao Yifeng only used him, they were related by blood after all, and he really couldn't do it if he wanted to watch his father be grounded in the mansion and ignore him......
"You don't have to think about us, as long as you are safe and sound, it is the greatest comfort to my brother!" Xiao Hanchen concealed part of the facts.
The Xiao family's military power has brought them a catastrophe, but Xiao Yifeng is still reluctant to break his arm and stop the loss.
Although after losing the military power, the Xiao family will definitely not return to the prosperity of the past, but in this way, the lives of the whole clan are saved.
Staying in Qingshan is not afraid of no firewood, only to save everyone's lives, the Xiao family will have a prosperous day sooner or later.
The borders can't always be peaceful, the other tribes are ready to move, and if they do come to invade in the future, the heroes will eventually be useful.
The most important thing now is to preserve the strength and let the emperor rest assured of the Xiao family.
Xiao Yifeng was clear in his heart, but unfortunately he was always reluctant, so he hesitated.
He had tried to persuade his father countless times, but to no avail......
Therefore, Xiao Hanchen did not notify Xiao Hanyin after the accident in the Xiao family, in order not to want him to be involved.
If Xiao Yifeng still refuses to break his arm in the end, at least he can still live.
As long as Xiao Hanyin lives, the Xiao family has preserved the bloodline.
Who would have thought that Xiao Yifeng had sent a letter to him privately, and Xiao Hanchen had a trace of complaint against him in his heart......
"Big brother!" After Xiao Hanyin understood what he meant gorgeously, his heart was full of sadness.
Is it really going to be like this?
"Let's go, if someone finds out, you're afraid you won't be able to leave!" Xiao Hanchen patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have grown up, don't act impulsively!" ”
"Got it!" Xiao Han was ruthless, and finally left with light skills.
Xiao Hanchen looked at his back and felt very comforted.
He still has this family in his heart, but it's a pity that his father is too selfish. Lazy people listen to books
Whether this disaster can be avoided depends on when he thinks clearly......
After Xiao Hanyin left the Xiao Mansion, he wanted to leave the imperial city first, his identity was sensitive, if he was seen by someone who knew him, he was afraid that the Xiao family would cause trouble again.
Today's Xiao family is already in turmoil, and it can no longer withstand any blows.
However, Xiao Hanyin's journey out of the city was not very smooth.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he encountered a group of men in black.
As soon as the men in black saw him, they immediately rushed over, surrounded him, and then struck a deadly attack.
At this time, Xiao Hanyin was also wearing a night suit, and those people didn't see his face at all, but they kept attacking him, which surprised him.
"Are you Xiao Hanyin?" During the fight, the other party suddenly asked.
Xiao Hanyin's eyes darkened, it seemed that the news of his return seemed to have been known, otherwise these people would not have been waiting at the gate of the city.
The other party asked him about his identity, obviously because he had doubts in his heart and did not dare to easily confirm his identity.
In order to prevent the Xiao family from continuing to be blamed by the emperor because of their own affairs.
Xiao Hanyin didn't speak, but quickly made a move, wanting to deal with these people.
His identity cannot be revealed for the time being, no matter who sent these people, as long as they do not see their true colors, there is no evidence.
Although there are many people on the other side, they are not Xiao Hanyin's opponents.
After they had been fighting for a quarter of an hour, Xiao Hanyin had the upper hand.
Those people didn't seem to expect his martial arts to be so high, and they were very embarrassed for a while.
However, the opponent was outnumbered, and Xiao Hanyin was able to rely on his sharp moves and deep internal strength to win in a short period of time.
If he keeps fighting, he will definitely lose at the hands of the other party.
Therefore, Xiao Hanyin didn't plan to fight at all.
The other party seemed to sense his thoughts and kept wrapping him tightly.
Xiao Hanyin has never been able to find a chance to leave.
At this time, Xiao Han unexpectedly sealed the acupoint of a man in black, and then took away the knife in his hand.
Their knives are poisonous, and if they are injured, they will die here.
So, Xiao Hanyin has been very careful.
Those men in black knew that there was poison on the knife, so when they fought him, they were not as desperate as before.
The poison on the knife was smeared by their master himself.
Once the skin is scratched, there is no cure.
They came here this time just to ask for Xiao Hanyin's life, so their master didn't leave them the slightest way out.
If they don't complete their mission, they will suffer the most cruel punishment even if they make it back alive.
However, now that they are about to defeat Xiao Hanyin, no one wants to die under his knife in vain.
Xiao Han faintly saw that they were so afraid of the poison on the knife, and knew that this poison was not trivial.
So, he used enough internal force to scratch the arms of two of them.
They were soon poisoned, and Xiao Hanyin took advantage of this opportunity to immediately use light skills to escape.
Seeing this, those people were ruthless and went directly after Xiao Hanyin, ignoring the two companions lying on the ground, because they were poisoned and couldn't live for a quarter of an hour.
At the moment, they have no antidote in their hands, and they can't save them at all.
If Xiao Hanyin succeeds in escaping, they are afraid that their lives will not be saved.
Those black-clothed people tried their best to catch up with Xiao Hanyin, but unfortunately their light skills were not as good as him at all.
Xiao Hanyin's light skills were the best among his peers back then, and later even faintly surpassed his master.
He has a very high talent in martial arts, and ordinary people can't compare to him at all.
What others need ten years to practice, he only needs five years, or even less.
Back then, his master once praised Xiao Hanyin, saying that he was a rare genius in a century.
For this reason, Xiao Yifeng deliberately sent him to the palace, and secretly used means to make him the prince's companion.
In fact, the second prince originally wanted to choose Xiao Hanyin as his companion.
Although he was only eight or nine years old at the time, the second prince was already in his teens.
He was instilled with the idea of snatching the throne by his mother since he was a child.
In order to let Xiao Yifeng completely obey his orders, he planned to use Xiao Hanyin to restrain him.
However, in the end, the second prince was persuaded by him and let Xiao Hanyin go to the prince's side smoothly......
In order to prevent the man in black from finding his foothold, Xiao Hanyin deliberately took those people around in circles.
His light skills and physical strength are better than those people, and after a few circles, the man in black is a little exhausted.
Actually, Xiao Hanyin also felt a little tired, but he didn't stop.
In order to exercise himself, Xiao Hanyin would get up every morning to practice a set of boxing.
His physical strength is not comparable to ordinary people......
In the end, Xiao Hanyin completely got rid of the man in black and returned to the place where he settled.
After going back, he gasped and drank a few cups of tea.
Today is really dangerous, if he didn't leave in time, I was afraid that he would not come back......
